The Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana (UL FF) is one of the founding members of the University of Ljubljana. It educates students and produces top-quality, open-minded and critical thinkers in the humanities and social sciences, as well as in the education of teachers in these fields. It pays special attention to strengthening the disciplines of national importance, which co-create the Slovenian identity. It integrates scientific knowledge into the study process by building on traditions to create a new quality, essential for Slovenian self-awareness and for the Faculty's creative presence in the international arena.

Scientific research is another core activity of the Faculty. The Scientific Research Institute of the Faculty of Arts (ZIFF) is the organisational unit that organises and coordinates the scientific research work at the Faculty. The Institute brings together about 450 researchers and manages about 100 national and international projects annually.

Humanities: anthropology, archaeology, ethnology, philosophy, geography, linguistics, cultural studies, literature, musicology, art history and historiography, and social sciences: information science and librarianship, psychology, sociology, education and education.
